Falcons vs Buccaneers

The Atlanta Falcons head to Tampa Bay on Monday night to take on their division rival Buccaneers in a crucial matchup that helps determine playoff positioning for Atlanta. Here’s who will and will not possibly play in Week 15. Falcons’ wide receiver Mohamed Sanu was limited in practice on Thursday due to a knee injury. He has not been ruled out vs the Bucs. This seems to be a precaution by the Falcons’ coaching staff but expect him to suit up on Monday night.

The Atlanta Falcons have rebounded after dropping to 3-3, as they’ve won five of their last seven games, improving to 8-5. Not only have they climbed back into the NFC Playoff picture, but they still have a shot at winning their second-straight NFC South title. If they can pull off another victory over the Buccaneers in Week 15, their postseason odds will continue to skyrocket.

That being said, there are questions regarding some of the Falcons biggest contributors heading into Monday night.Week 15 is here, and the 8-5 Falcons have yet another primetime match-up—this time on Monday Night Football. That’s actually great for Atlanta, who enjoy a “mini-bye” of sorts coming off a Thursday night game, and their opponent is also arguably the easiest remaining on their schedule. Tampa Bay just fell to 4-9 after a disappointing loss to Detroit, and saw any hope of avoiding a losing season disappear.
